| Abstract: | Takrarishta is an Ayurvedic formulation which contains Go-Takra (buttermilk prepared from curd of cow’s milk), Amla, Harda, Marich, Ajowan, Saindhava
namak, Sauvarcala namak, Bida namak, Audbhida namak and Samudra namak and is indicated against
haemorrhoids, worm infestation, loss of appetite, irritable bowel syndrome and
diarrhoea.
In present investigation, Takrarishta
formulation has been screened for antibacterial activity against ten bacterial species
namely Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Bacillus subtilis (MTCC 441), Pseudomonas
aeruginosa (MTCC 424), Proteus
vulgaris (MTCC 1771), Micrococcus
luteus (MTCC 1541), Bacillus cereus
(MTCC 430) Escherichia coli (MTCC
739), Shigella flexneri (MTCC 1457)
and Clostridium perfringens (NCIM
2677).
The formulation
as well as individual component exhibited antibacterial activity against
different strains. The formulation has been suggested to be useful in gastrointestinal
(GI) infections and in the condition of food poisoning. |
